About the author

There is a beast with heart of cold stone
that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. //
Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees.
My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. //
I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

Holding a 45+ lbs squirmy child is not as easy as you think it is. The father could need his arms for something, and they could be walking for a very long period of time. In theory, your idea is good but in reality it isn't practical.

I think the point in this photo is what parents do for theris kids, not if what they were doing was clever. BTW, the photo doesn-t tell me if the father was injuried on the righ arm, or if they were 2 or 50 minutes away from their destination. Just like (or don't) the picture, but don't try to see further ahead without more information.

Do you really think that a father can't hold his child in one arm on the way to ( idk home, or to the bus stop)...You think he is that weak? A 40 something lbs child is not that heavy and yes I tried, not even once. In the picture you can see, there is no wind and if there is, when I was a child i walked in the windy/rainy weather with umbrella in my hands and im still here. :) But, maybe in your world is not working that way. Have a nice day everyone!

It's not about what you did, it's how you put it. There're ways to put our kids first, but letting them know it is an act of love, not an act of parenting obligation. Humans are creatures who will exploit obligation but have the perspective to appreciate love. Have faith a little , will you? Besides, what sort of parents are afraid of being taking advantaged of? Kids are all you have in the remaining days, what are you afraid of?
